all Merit should be equal.
Honestly, I haven't seen its equal enough, and maybe you passed this :
Because there are shitposters in every rank
Every week somebody open a whining/how to get merit thread.
and that is mostly (or entirely) done by the newbie.
I've also seen a little change from some of the newbies by trying to make more goodquality posts spread in all sections of the board (although some were caught due to plagiarism from other sites or members). Meanwhile...
I have seen full Members and Senior Members who have never attained even a single merit since the system was put in place(all they have is Airdropped merit). All they post is only garbage to fulfill their weekly post count for signatures.
They are dominating altcoin ANN boards which only support posts for shitcoins and it won't change anything in this world.
This forum is so wide, and I don't see a lot of Members rank^ in every section of it. Only full of newbie posts that some people think are boring.
